New York, Massachusetts: Vermont is on line 1

MARLBORO — New York state is taking steps to close Indian Point, whose two big reactors are some 35 miles from the city.

According to a recent edition of The Nation, the state has “already challenged federal authority by denying the plant the permit it needs to operate, arguing that the environment is a valid state concern and not pre-empted by federal authority.”

Massachusetts might follow suit with the Pilgrim plant, which has also received relicensing from the NRC.

If this be the case, let's have our legal people talk to their legal people and instruct our Public Service Board to get to it!
